Honestly this is why I stopped teasing shutterbugs and selfie takers. Just realizing that (a) not all selfies are necessarily destined for social media, and (b) the regrettable alternative might be no pictures of friends with you in them, or even no pictures of those you care about, for long stretches of life that memory tends to eventually consolidate.
The shutterbug in the friend group might be the one reason you remember so well the time you spent with them many years later.
